DEATH STOPS ONE RACER IN THE BIG EVENT CHARLEY BATTERSON INSTANTLY KILLED IN FREE-FORALL ROAD RACE CAR TURNED TURTLE ON BALL ROAD—BERL MORTHLAND'S CAR SMASHED UP The silent spectre death crouched upon the race course at the Anaheim automobile races on July fourth and snatched one young life as its tithe. The life that went upon the altar of sacrifice in a determination to win in a test of prowess in the road race was that of Charley Batterson, an employee of the Anaheim Motor Company, who met instant death when his machine turned turtle at a crossing of the railroad spur on the Ball road leading to the old Dreyfus winery. Exactly how the accident occurred will never be known, because it was all over so quickly that even Alfred Seale, the mechanician who was riding in the machine with the unfortunate victim, can not give an exact account of the matter. At the place where the accident occurred the railroad spur crosses the roadway diagonally. It is said that when the Colby car, driven by Batterson, approached this place the guard stationed at the crossing waved a danger flag in an effort to cause the driver to slacken speed, but he seemed to pay no attention to the warning and took the crossing at a terrific gait. driven by Berl Morthland ran into a palm tree on Walnut street just after turning the corner from Center. The driver was caught between the car and palm and badly squeezed. Ralph Moss who was riding with him was thrown out and struck on his head, receiving several severe cuts and rendering him unconscious for some little time. Kenyon Lybarger sustained two broken ribs in the accident. But both the injured men were up and around Thursday afternoon in spite of their bruises. When the Hudson car collided with the palm tree Bert Shindeldecker was close behind in an E. M. F. The compact came so suddenly that it was impossible for Shindeldecker to control his car and he rammed into the Hudson, taking off one of the rear wheels of the last named car. The Hudson was so badly disabled that it was unable to compete in the races for which it had been entered. The cause of the accident to the Hudson is supposed to have resulted from a defective steering gear. Tom Ingram's Ford racer also turned completely over in the road race and threw the driver and his mechanician out, but neither was injured and soon the car was righted and back in the race. ASKS BIG DAMAGES Santa Ana Physician Alleges Druggists Hurt His Business In the superior court last week a suit was filed by Dr. E. L. Enochs, of Santa Ana, through his attorney, Dick Harding, asking for $10,000 damages from Wheeler & Mateer, durggists, for alleged damage to his practice caused by the circulating of a letter by the druggists in answer to an advertisement inserted in the Santa Ana papers by Dr. Enochs, who is alleged to have violated medical ethics by adver- At the place where the accident occurred the railroad spur crosses the roadway diagonally. It is said that when the Colby car, driven by Batterson, approached this place the guard stationed at the crossing waved a danger flag in an effort to cause the driver to slacken speed, but he seemed to pay no attention to the warning and took the crossing at a terrific gait. When he struck the railroad the big Colby car went into the air and when it lit on the east side of the tracks it landed in deep sand and the inevitable result was it turned completely over hurling both driver and mechanician to the ground. The powerful machine dragged along in the sand for a distance of about 100 feet, dragging the two unfortunate men with it. Homer Mann, who was watching the crossing, went immediately to the relief of the two victims but Batterson was dead when he reached him, his head having been split wide open. C. L. Newcombe, who was driving a Thomas car, saw the accident from the west side of the track and slowed down, dropping out of the race to lend aid to the Colby victims. Mr. and Mrs. Billings, who live about 200 feet from where the accident occurred, also went to the scene, but it was too late to render any aid to Charley Batterson. His mechanician, Alfred Seale, was examined and it was learned that he had sustained a broken collar bone and was also badly bruised about the body. The several cars coming into town on the first lap spread the report of the accident and the Suitatorium delivery truck which had been drafted as an ambulance went to the scene, accompanied by Dr. Johnson and others. The dead man was taken to the morgue and Seale to the sanitarium where his injuries were attended to. It is said he is not seriously hurt and will soon be up and around again. Relatives of the Colby driver were notified and an uncle living at Cucamonga came at once and made arrangements for the funeral which was held Saturday afternoon at the Backs & Terry chapel, after which the body was sent to the father at Keota, Iowa, for interment in the family lot at that place. The terrific speed at which Batterson was driving the Colby can be judged when it is stated his was the sixth car from the tape and he had passed four of the cars before the first lap of the course had been finished. In the preliminary runs that had Santa Ana Physician Alleges Druggists Hurt His Business In the superior court last week a suit was filed by Dr. E. L. Enochs, of Santa Ana, through his attorney, Dick Harding, asking for $10,000 damages from Wheeler & Mateer, durggists, for alleged damage to his practice caused by the circulating of a letter by the druggists in answer to an advertisement inserted in the Santa Ana papers by Dr. Enochs, who is alleged to have violated medical ethics by advertising himself and his business. It was along about last March that Dr. Enochs is alleged to have put into an advertisement some statement that intimated that the druggists, Wheeler & Mateer, stood sponsor for Dr. Enochs. Any drug store likes to have the good will of the practicing physicians, and it seems also that Wheeler & Mateer saw that the advertisement of Dr. Enochs put them in bad with local physicians, some of whom had been very outspoken in their opinion of various statements in Dr. Enochs' advertisement. About April 4 letters were mailed by the druggists to various physicians of the county, and this letter is one that Dr. Enochs and his attorney assert did Dr. Enochs $10,000 damage. According to the complaint this letter stated that the writers, Wheeler & Mateer, had noticed an advertisement of Dr. Enochs in which the ability of the medical profession hereabout was deprecated, that this article violated all ethics of the medical profession, and that it intimated that Wheeler & Mateer were sponsors and in accordance with Dr Enochs' methods and practice. The letter stated that Wheeler & Mateer disclaim all such presumptions, and denied any previous knowledge of the article published, and stated that the druggists desired to favor no physician over others. The complaint alleges that this letter is false and defamatory, and greatly injured and prejudiced the reputation of Dr. Enochs who thereby lost and was deprived of great gains and was damaged to the extent of $10,000. GOOD ROADS GET A BOOST People of Northwest Inaugurate Educational Campaign The progress of the good roads movement throughout the Northwest has been such that those people who are interested in the development of the new sections and in furtherance of machinery and automobiles in the work of the farm have taken upon GOOD ROADS GET A BOOST People of Northwest Inaugurate Educational Campaign The progress of the good roads movement throughout the Northwest has been such that those people who are interested in the development of the new sections and in the furtherance of machinery and automobiles in the work of the farm have taken upon themselves the issuing of special literature and premiums to stimulate activity. In this connection the Spokane County Good Roads Association, of which F. W. Guilbert is secretary, is broadening itself and inducing other communities to take up the good roads campaign, and the Northwest Harvester Co., through A. R. Blewitt, general manager, has donated a split-log drag as a premium at the International Dry-Farmed Products Exposition at Spokane, Wash., October 19-26 next, for the best article, not exceeding 500 words, on "Why it Pays the Farmer to Build Good Roads." This split-log drag is one of the modern implements used in improving country roads, and it is claimed that with one of these a country road can be kept up at a cost not exceeding $25 a year. The drag is also serviceable as a roller on ground that has been disced and harrowed, so that the premium is worth the winning by anyone dry-farming. The conditions of the competition are that the author shall endeavor to be concise. The best article will be given extensive publicity through the bureau of the International Dry-Farming Congress.

BIG CROWD CAME TO CELEBRATE IN ANAHEIM BIG PROGRAM OF AMUSEMENT ENTERTAINS THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE PICNIC BY EAGLES AND RACING EVENTS FURNISHED LOTS OF AMUSEMENT Great crowds came and saw and went away satisfied with the days' entertainment supplied by the Anaheim Automobile Club and the Eagles Lodge in celebration of the Fourth of July last Thursday. Early in the morning crowds began coming in from every direction. By noon the streets were crowded and Columbia Gardens was the scene of merry making seldom equalled at any celebration. The barbecue was a feature that will be remembered for a long time by all who partook of that splendid roast beef. There were hundreds of people at the gardens and everybody was taken care of in an orderly manner that savored well for the reputation Anaheim has gained for handling crowds to best advantage. Bob Sparks was in charge of the barbecue and he was most ably assisted by Eli Sparks, Bert Annin and John Hunt. There were so much pleasure at the gardens that many visitors spent the entire day at that resort instead of coming down town to witness the au- Kincaid; No. 1, Ford, Al Osbrink; No. 4, Ford, Tom Ingram.

Bob Sparks was in charge of the barbecue and he was most ably assisted by Ell Sparks, Bert Annin and John Hunt. There were so much pleasure at the gardens that many visitors spent the entire day at that resort instead of coming down town to witness the automobile races. The various features of the day were in charge of competent committees who saw to it that everything went off with clock-like regularity and this made for a successful day's celebration. Earl Dutton and Frank Arnold were master of ceremonies at the Eagle celebration and Phil Germann was sergeant at arms for the park. John Busch and Ed Schleuter were in charge of the refreshments and Will Orr looked after the details of the dance in the evening. These various committees worked together with such unison that there was not a single hitch in the day's events. The dance at the opera house at night was very largely patronized, practically every bit of dancing surface being utilized at each dance. The committee in charge of the dance at night was composed of Harvey Holland, Billy Lake, Joe Hessel, Otto Rees, Bert Schindeldecker, Dick Ahern, Roy Gardner and John Schumacher, while other members of the fraternity lent all the aid possible in making the affair a social success. Streets along the auto racing course were literally packed during the several events of the afternoon but in spite of the congested condition the officials managed to keep the course clear and no accidents resulted to spectators. In fact, barring the one frightful fatality of the afternoon there was not a thing arose to mar the enjoyment of the racing program. Dick Hollingsworth, representing a supply house at Los Angeles was in direct charge of the staging of the races and he was assisted by P. C. Gartley, also of Los Angeles. These two men handled the executive part of the work in a manner that was pleasing to the onlookers and satisfactory to all who were entered in the several events. As a matter of safety a change was made from the originally planned starting point and the cars were sent out from in front of the library on Los Angeles street, making the first ver, in 1:15; second, Flanders, No. 10, Kincaid driver, in 1:18.

People from a distance who came here expressed the unanimous opinion that they had been royally entertained and the various committees in charge of the affair felt that they had been amply repaid for the efforts in hearing the praise bestowed upon the town as an entertainer. Many local people had exerted some energy in dressing the old town in gala attire for the occasion and an atmosphere of patriotism was instilled by Old Glory floating from many flag staffs and the national colors used generally in the decorative scheme. TELLS OF DAYS GONE BY Exhibit at University Marks Back to Time of Cliff Dwellers A communication from the State University tells about an entire new exhibit entitled "In the Footsteps of the Cliff Dwellers," and illustrating the life and remains of the prehistoric inhabitants of the Southwest and their modern descendants which was opened to the public for the first time on July 4 at the University of California Museum of Anthropology, at the Affiliated Colleges on Parmassus avenue in San Francisco. This is the fifth successive display to be put on view in the "Revolving Exhibit Room" in the nine months the museum has been open. The collection, which is really a combination of eight separately formed collections, reveals especially the intimate and personal side of the existence of the famous "inhabitants of the precipices." The sandals which they wore, the tiny fringed skirt which some little girl a thousand years ago tied around her waist, the paint with which her mother decorated herself or the bone needle with which she sewed, are to be seen by the side of the hunter's bow and arrow. Coming down to a more recent period the pottery of the modern Pueblos still illustrates the ancient methods of making ware. The Navaho blanket is an up-to-date survival in wool of the old technique in aboriginally grown cotton. The ceremonial dolls and brightly colored dance percussionals of direct charge of the staging of the races and he was assisted by P. C. Gartley, also of Los Angeles. These two men handled the executive part of the work in a manner that was pleasing to the onlookers and satisfactory to all who were entered in the several events. As a matter of safety a change was made from the originally planned starting point and the cars were sent out from in front of the library on Los Angeles street, making the first turn into Center. The road races were five times around the four and a fraction mile course, going up Center street to Walnut where the course went south to the Ball road, thence east to Los Angeles street, the finish being made in a straightaway across Center street on north up Los Angeles street. In the motorcycle races the same course was used as on the automobile events. These races were the first scheduled and were followed by some exciting stunts which brought forth a great deal of applause and enthusiasm from all who love a test of speed and endurance. Places were drawn for the races Wednesday night and the following was the result: Single cylinder motorcycle race—No. 3, Spencer; No. 1, Woodington; No. 10, Houston; No. 11, Elders; No. 9, Jacobson. This was a three-lap race. Double cylinder motorcycle race—No. 8, Kauffman; No. 6, Bittner; No. 2, Dickson; No. 5, Burbank; No. 7, Mason. This was a four-lap go. The three-lap light car automobile race was the first auto event following immediately after the motorcycle races, and the cars were sent out under the following numbers: No. 10, Flanders, Shannon; No. 3, Flanders, paint with which her mother decorated herself or the bone needle with which she sewed, are to be seen by the side of the hunter's bow and arrow. Coming down to a more recent period the pottery of the modern Pueblos still illustrates the ancient methods of making the ware. The Navaho blanket is an up-to-date survival in wool of the old technique in aboriginally grown cotton. The ceremonial dolls and brightly colored snake dance paraphernalia of the Hopis contain the religious symbols used by their prehistoric ancestors. The whole picturesque modern Indian life of Arizona and New Mexico thus finds its explanation in the remnants of the Cliff Dweller past. Of special interest are a blood-painted bow and a stone metate which once belonged to the notorious Geronimo, who for four years succeeded in defying or eluding the United States army. There is also a series of masks of Pueblo Indian heads cast in plaster from the living subject and therefore absolutely faithful in every detail. The exhibit will remain on view only during July and August, when in consonance with the museum's policy it must be removed to give place to another special temporary installation. The Egyptian, Californian, Peruvian, and Greek halls remain permanently open to the public from 10 to 4 daily, including Sundays and holidays. If you were a guest of Anaheim on the Fourth you know that visitors were royally entertained; if you were not, we are telling you they were, and that claim will be backed by every person who came to town to hear the eagle scream.
